Forecasts

Hero Hero (4/7), Bardo Contiguo (5/2), Guandi (6/1), Mogsy (14/1), Torochica (25/1), Caledonian Gold (66/1), Dolly McQueen (66/1), Lambrini Lullaby (100/1), Just Heather (100/1), Isabella Red (100/1), Mr Wing (100/1), Piccolo Ramoscello (100/1)

A race stacked full of essentially very moderate horses, who quite politely won't be winning races anytime soon. The two to concentrate the efforts upon are the upped in trip No Nay Never colt Hero Hero who has seen his recent 6f Chelmsford third boosted since by both the winner (Jubiloso) and second (Dominus). However, a very slight preference is for the Roger Varian-trained BARDO CONTIGUO who shaped well when runner up on debut in a 1m+ Chelmsford maiden.
